1970s | Long Sleeve Shirt | White Windowpane Check - XXL

Description:

Item: Original 1970s long sleeve shirt in a crisp white base with black and red windowpane check. Classic button-front design with sharp pointed collar and single chest pocket cut on the bias for subtle contrast. Straight hem and relaxed, slightly boxy 70s cut through the body, giving it that easy period silhouette. Fabric is a 50% polyester / 50% cotton blend, offering durability with a smooth, lightweight feel that holds its shape well.

Era: 1970s

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Fabric retains strong colour and clarity to the check. Buttons secure and stitching sound. Light, honest signs of age only, consistent with careful wear.

Provenance Note: A clean, graphic 70s piece that balances structure and everyday wearability. The windowpane pattern gives it depth without overpowering, and the era-correct collar shape keeps it firmly rooted in the decade. An easy addition to denim, tailoring or layered looks, bringing subtle pattern and vintage character into rotation.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, and bulk.
